La promesse de la COP26 de mettre un terme à la déforestation, rien d’autre qu’un relooking des tentatives préalables de ‘verdir’ l’augmentation des émissions de carbone

Friends of the Earth International criticizes the COP26 deforestation promise as a 'relooking' of failed initiatives like REDD+, claiming it facilitates corporate carbon offsetting rather than actual emission reductions. The statement highlights the hypocrisy of signatory nations, citing the EU-Mercosur trade agreement and Brazil's treatment of indigenous peoples, and calls for binding regulations and direct climate finance instead of market-based mechanisms.

• The COP26 promise to end deforestation is viewed as a continuation of failed REDD+ initiatives, which the author claims have failed to stop climate change and have instead led to widespread land grabbing and territorial rights violations.
• The LEAF coalition, supported by 200 million pounds from the UK government, is criticized for allowing corporations such as Amazon, Delta Airlines, Bayer, Unilever, and Black Rock to use forest investments to offset rather than cease their carbon emissions.
• Previous international efforts to combat deforestation are cited as failures: the New York Declaration saw an increase in deforestation after its 2030 pledge, and nearly 50% of the Bonn Challenge's restored lands became industrial tree plantations.
• The document identifies contradictions in the actions of signatory countries, specifically noting that the EU-Mercosur trade agreement is expected to increase EU meat imports by 50%, driving deforestation in the Amazon, while Brazil continues to attack indigenous rights despite its Glasgow promises.
• The author advocates for a shift away from carbon offsets and market mechanisms toward binding regulations, the implementation of UNDRIP and UNDROP, and the provision of trillions in climate finance from developed countries as additional to development aid.
